the, the business day that we news, like from berlin, germany's defense minister plays down a damaging week. forrest story is blamed human error for the interest set that put stickers, military conversations about german weapons for ukraine into russian hands. also coming on. jordan and the united states air drops more aid into gauze zone. but what the situation on the ground growing, even more desperate critics say the supplies are just a fraction of what is needed in the united states of super tuesday. the biggest thing so far on the 2024 grease for the white house. well, bring you the latest from our correspondent and colorado. the

welcome to the show. germany's defense minister forrest the story. it says human error was to blame for a conversation between high level german military personnel and being intercepted by russia. 4 days after the revelation 1st made headlines, boris, the story is as done before the cameras to explain in detail exactly what went wrong is as an officer who was visiting singapore dialed in to join the discussion about the use of taurus missiles, amy ukraine, without taking the necessary security precautions was calling the legal hybrid this information attacked. the story is expanded on russia's attempt to influence the narrative. here in germany, it will slant type. russia is constantly trying to drive a wedge between us, between the domestic political forces in germany, between the policies,

between those 12, for or against, for more or less support for ukraine. it's all up officially is getting the pollutants came here and we must not fold for it. the most often lime game. and i asked our correspondent assignment young. what he makes of the story is explanation . well, this is clearly a damaged limitation exercise by the german defense minister. he was offering this explanation, as you mentioned, that to one of the people on the coal whizzing single pull and appears to have at used a non secure line. and perhaps, you know, that was the weak link. that was this been sort of exploited here by russian intelligence. perhaps it was just the lucky shot that they were able to get this in the record, this cool. so the defense minister is cooling it to the individual era, as you mentioned in the end indeed to use these non secure line would have been against german military rules and procedures. and he's announced an

investigation at and on the whole, i think the defense ministers of pains to down play the significance of this lake, perhaps rather in the same way that the russian propaganda machine has been at pains to play a top. bazaar is also said that the german government and i'm quoting em here, had not made a political decision on sending towards cruise missiles to ukraine. does that means i'm not the matter, isn't yet off the table. it's well, that's one of the things i think this lake shows, it clearly isn't off the table is being discussed at a pretty senior level within the military. but of course also among politicians. and as we know, john, so that all i've shown it is strongly opposed to supplying they said towards the long range missile system into crime. the pain is that it could be interpreted by

russia as a direct involvement at by germany in the war. and if it is an escalation, because of that, on the other side, you've got an opposition. politicians, christian democrats, but also others in parliament. as saying, no, we must continue to discuss space is a weapon that ukraine wants and needs and would make a significant difference on the ground and opposition, publications. and also i've been trying to point out that the, the link to the link to coal seems to show that i would have felt his argument that delivering taurus to ukraine would also inevitably main sending german troops to ukraine. that, that argument to is not true. so there's a lot of political material here as steel to discuss and i think the debates about taurus for ukraine. yes. so know that i saw for mobile and that's the w political correspondence. simon young. thank you so much, simon. french president and money on my call has called on ukraine's

allies to not be, quote, cowards in providing support for the war against russia. he made the comments on a trip to the czech republic where he discussed plans to boost ammunition for ukraine. back home recently face a backlash from his western allies. after you refused to rule out sending middle ground troops to your print, is that he still stood behind those remarks. forgiveness. is it or is it not along between nicholas he did, and we look over and let the things i'm driving us, so i don't think so. i don't cuz i go in for a strategic search and that's the invite for this plan. we need to be realistic about the situation that's unfolding in your window up, the risk that exist. and what we need to stand for assuming for we're joined now by the delegates, rosie burkhard, she joins us from brussels, rosie another strong message from account to his european allies. what is the french president trying to achieve here?

well, president michael and certainly had caused a stir last week with those comments about not ruling out boots on the ground in ukraine. but if you saw therefore, that he might be sort of apologetic or trying to walk back those remarks, remarks, most of them don't. on the contrary, you'd be wrong. he certainly stewed by that, but i should say he did not say anything specifically about troops by any sort of deployment of soldiers into quaid from other countries, as for example, from front. but what he did talk about more broadly was the idea of showing limits of setting red lights. he said that nato countries shouldn't be setting limits or showing limits talking about them when russia, he said, seems keen not to show any limits from its side at whole. know, this is something which is likely going to spark a bit of controversy as it already did. those initial comments sparked a quite a swift rebuff from several of nato allies. fish, i should say, comes at a time where fonts has faced some criticism or accusations that it's not provided ukraine with enough military support compared to frances g p. so emmanuel macro

here, really saving to prove that he's being a mover, moving things forward when it comes to european support to ukraine. and this is also likely to spark some debate, particularly in germany, which i'm a country to what my court is saying here has been came to show red lights and say that there is a limit here. and then we would be sending in cried troops to ukraine. it sounds like you cranes, european allies are quite divided. how much so as well, we've already heard from the german decides minister saying that comments about i lies being cowardly, for example. so alluding to those comments by my annual annual macro, don't help you create that. they are not helpful, and then instead, what should be focused on is unity. although of course, the criticism from the german defense minister shows this unity in itself, among these nato allies and among ukraine's western allies. now, they will have a chance to get back on the same page soon enough because we're expecting fonts to host a video call to follow up in a meeting last week. and the cup in the coming days were expecting that on thursday

. and what's likely to be discussed there is try to get a munition to ukraine quickly because of course, while the results are, it's a philosophical debate going on and the red lights went to show them what not to show them. ukrainian soldiers will there say we're trying to defend our territory here, and we need our municipal quickly as he w for responded rosie bertrand and brussels. thanks so much quick look. now, some of the stories making headlines around the world today. russian independent media, se authorities have arrested several people for attending memorial events. dedicated to lead opposition leader. i'll explain a voting rights group over the info says those obtained were identified using surveillance cameras. thousands of pneumonia supporters showed up for his funeral on friday. the group says more than a 100 people were detained on that day. i a user is a facebook, instagram and thread say they have been locked out of their accounts. the problems are being reported across the world, suggesting that the outage could be global platforms, parents,

need. and there's not enough aid. and the fact that the we have the willing, this inability to bear it. but is there a father in the world who can see his children riding in hunger in front of him to remain silent even if the price is risking his life. just like all these people who risk their lives in order to obtain what is not even enough for a crumb of flour or aid or canned food. yesterday, some expired canned goods arrived, containing mold and fungus. we are not animals, as they described us. over the we can work us from the un. i'm the w a tro, rushed in to provide supplies to hospitals, medicines, and fuel a running critically low. and this is costing children headlines. unfortunately, yes, we have lost 2 babies here. they had pneumonia,

joe vine for the democrats and his freed assessor donald trump for the republicans nearly as field trips, only competition in the republican party, but polls show he is on course to win or respond. and benjamin alvarez is in denver, and i asked him why super tuesday is such a consequential day on the election count. a consequential day indeed, more than a 3rd of the delegates will be decided today, 15 states, you mentioned the number that will, how to head out it to the polls today to decide who will be their candidate. but to be honest, this year compared to other years, it will not be the political lifting or that super tuesday and was and also like traditionally because there are only 2 candidates on past 2, the 270 delegates that they need with donald trump. we have a joe biden, so we don't expect many a surprises today. but the thing, and the big question is, of course, how big the martin will be between own trump. style is benjamin alvarez,
